Dinner at Fengshan Food Centre

Category : , , , , ,

Date: 23rd June 2010
Venue: Fengshan Food Centre
Country: Singapore
Cuisine: Chinese

We were on familiar grounds at 85 Fengshan Food Centre in the mature neighbourhood estate of Bedok. Our childhood home was just directly opposite.Having moved away for 10 years now, we still missed the food there. With stalls serving a great variety of quality food 24 hours a day, the food centre is packed with people throughout the day, especially at night when diners throng the place for supper.

Stall No. 01-07 - Xing Ji Rou Cou Mian
Rou Cou Mian or Bak Chor Mee (S$3.00/ US$2.15)

Thin yellow noodles in hot pork broth with minced pork and pork balls. The noodles soup is considerably more popular than the dry version. The secret of success, we believe, lies with its broth. The stall owners are so confident of the taste of their broth, that they do not serve a small dish of soya sauce with sliced chilli, together with their noodles, as is the usual practice. Instead the sliced chilli are carelessly sprinkled in the bowl. The noodles are highly popular, be prepared for a long wait if you come at peak hours. 
Rating = 4.5/5

Stall No.#01-51 -  Bedok 85 Fried Oyster Omelette
Oyster Omelette (S$3.00/ US$2.15)

Love their oyster omelette. Eggs fried till slightly crisp to the bite, with just the right amount of starch added. Oysters added are still raw to the bite. The chilli sauce served is slightly sour, with vinegar added to enhance the taste.
Rating = 4.5/5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Stall No. #01-58 - Chan BBQ
Cockles Hot Plate (S$5.00/ US$3.60)
Cockles with sambal chilli and onion on hot plate. Good stuff.
Rating = 4.25/5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


L.W. Cake Shop - Blk 84 #01-55
Cream Cakes (S$1.00/ US$0.70)
Traditional cream cakes, nowadays rarely seen, except for older neighbourhood cake shops and bakeries. We bought a slice of blueberry and a slice of chocolate cake home for dessert.
Rating = 3/5

Dinner at Dian Xiao Er, Changi Airport

Category : , , ,

Date: 18th June 2010
Venue: Dian Xiao Er, Changi Airport, Terminal 3, Level 3
Country: Singapore
Cuisine: Chinese
Meal: Dinner

A treat for ourselves on a Friday evening, rounded up with watching the planes at the viewing mall.

Duck Roasted with Angelica Herb
Dian Xiao Er's signature dish is roast duck. They offer 3 choices: duck roasted with angelica herb, ten wonder herb or wild ginseng. We chose the first one and requested for more gravy. We are never fans of roast duck, yet we are sold on this one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fish Maw with Seafood
A traditional chinese thick soup with lots of fish maw and crab meat. Add a dash of pepper and black vinegar to enhance the taste.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Baby Kai-Lan with Salted Fish & Lime
Crisp baby kai-lan leaves, with a hint of lime and little cubes of salted fish.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prawn Ball with Dragonfruit Sauce
This dish consists of deep fried prawn balls, dressed in red dragonfruit (otherwise known as Pitaya) sauce and served with diced white dragonfruit and strawberries. It is listed in Dian Xiao Er's healthier choice series for the nutritional value of dragonfruit. Pitaya is the fruit of several cactus species and supposedly has medicinal benefit, such as lowers cholesterol and blood pressure and contains cancer-preventing antioxidants. However, due to the bland taste of the fruit and hence the sauce, and the strong after-taste of oil in the prawn balls, we did not fancy this dish.

Dinner at Bedok South Food Centre

Category : , , , ,

Date: 11th June 2010
Venue: Bedok South Food Centre
Country: Singapore
Cuisine: Chinese
Meal: Dinner

Popped by Bedok South Food Centre after work to satisfy our cravings for the Char Kway Tiao.

Stall No. 178 - Hill Street Fried Kway Tiao
Fried Kway Tiao (S$2.50/ US$1.80)
Flat rice noodles, fat yellow Chinese noodles, bean sprouts fried in lard with eggs, chinese sausage, spring onion, cockles and dark soya sauce. The famous Bedok South fried kway tiao. We were lucky to get the last serving all wrapped up as the stallholders were closing their stall and that is all they can offer us. :-) The overall combination taste moist and just a little sweet thanks to the dark sweet sauce.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Stall No. 199 - Bedok South Niu Ji Prawn Noodles
Hokkien Fried Noodles (S$3.00/ US$2.15)
Fat yellow Chinese noodles, fat rice noodles, bean sprouts fried in lard with strips of fish cake, squid and prawns. Add chilli to taste and squeeze some lime juice on it for maximum effect. The stall has a steady crowd and various newspaper clippings pasted on its stall front to advertise its food. However, we do not like what we had, as we felt that the fat yellow noodles taste overcooked with a strong akaline overture. Guess we caught them on a bad day..:-(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Stall No. 215 - Kim Guan Kee Hot & Cold Drinks
Pineapple Drink (S$0.50/ US$0.35)
Classic hawker centre offering. Drink made by boiling pineapple in water and adding sugar to taste. They even added a few chunks of pineapple for the effect. Not commonly seen nowadays.

Dinner at Bedok Food Centre

Date: 9th June 2010
Venue: Bedok Food Centre
Country: Singapore
Cuisine: Chinese
Meal: Dinner

Popped by Bedok Food Centre after work to try out the famous cuttlefish kangkong, which is rarely sold in hawker centres and foodcourts.


Stall - Yue Lai Xiang Cuttlefish Kang Kong Since 1939
Cuttlefish Kang Kong (S$5.00/ US$3.55)
A salad of cuttlefish, kangkong (a.k.a. water spinach), pineapple, tau pok (a variety of beancurd) and lettuce in sweet bean sauce dressing, topped with crushed peanuts. The cuttlefish was crisp to the bite, and the sweetness of the dressing complemented the ingredients to a tee. We ordered the small portion, which is just right for 2 people; while the medium and large portions are sold at $10 and $15 respectively.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Stall - Yue Lai Xiang Cheng Teng (S$2.00 / US$1.40)

Sold at the stall just next to that selling the cuttlefish kangkong, it is a sweet dessert soup served either hot or cold. Boiled with dried longans, the soup contains mung beans, barley, sweet potato, sago and dried persimmons. Foodies with a sweet tooth will certainly like this one.
